We have just pushed an update to Opera Stable, now ending up at the magic number of 64 (24.0.1558.64). You shouldn’t notice any change at all in this version, it contains the grand total of a single bug fix!

A security flaw was discovered in one of the cryptographic libraries used by Opera 24, it is this flaw which has now been corrected. The flaw would allow an active man in the middle to take over some secure connections, depending on the certificate used. For more details, you can check out the following links:

Of course there are flaws, but Opera is the best browser on the Chrome engine.

Reality check: Still worse than Opera Presto.

..in every way except web browsing? 😉

I’ll show myself out.

Mister

Yes, not enough features. But much faster.

Hi Sigbjørn, thanks for the info and for the update, that includes this fix 😉

Thomas Scholz

Is Opera Presto (12) affected too?

Sigbjørn Vik

No

wolkenspalter

Is beta and developer stream affected?

WOFall

I’d assume so.

The real question is whether they’ll get an update today, or simply be updated in due course. Stable obviously deserves priority, but all streams should be patched immediately when it comes to major security issues.

Sigbjørn Vik

Yes. They will be updated, but not today. They will presumably be updated along with other scheduled updates for them.

Dogma

Please do not take this issue lightly, and issue a fix ASAP for all the streams. What you are doing is extremely dangerous to all users above 24, and there are quite a few.

:towel: better the security bugs get patched, before they get exploited

Linux user should update nss to 3.17.1 which fixes this issue.

Tommy

When will you fix the “Loading…” problem?

taneli

Do you mean, open a link in background tab, and it just says “Loading…” on the tab, doesn’t show the spinning loading animation, and just leaves you with an empty tab? ’cause that’s what i get on Dev26.

Tommy

Yes, that is exactly what I’m writing about.

Another question. Is it so HARD to install the updated version in the same folder as the old one? What’s up with those “24.0.1558.61”, “24.0.1558.64” folders? A normal installation is too mainstream for you?

Its a thing so BASIC and LOGICAL for EVERY BROWSER IN THE WORLD but Opera doesn’t solve this issue yet(more than 1 year!!!). If advanced users like us already have annoyances in dealing with this issue, what about the “average users”(like mom and dad), the new target of Opera? 🙁

Kai Ockendorf

No word about it on the Security Blog????

Sigbjørn Vik

Nothing interesting to say there which hasn’t already been said elsewhere, so no 🙂 Updates will go out automatically, so no need either.

Why the incredible extension X-Notifier was removed from Opera Addons and even from Chrome Webstore? I had to install it through developer mode, but now I’m worried. What is the problem? Is now this extension dangerous to my PC ?

well, I think “that all “check” something plugins” might also “collect” these data and eventually use them against you.

not saying that this is the reason but think about if you wanna show someone else these informations.

Jademarisa

That is the sad thing, that you don’t make any big changes at all, least the ones users ask you to implement.

ayespy

No changes are ever made in the Stable stream. Changes are made in the developer stream. They are refined in the Beta stream. Stable only gets security updates and, rarely, bug fixes.

is there any chance that you were able to delete the default search engines from the Opera House, which are adding?

I just upgraded to this version from 22.something and my zoom level is way off. I’m working on a website, looking at something that’s supposed to be 1260 pixels, and it measures 1509ish. Yes, the zoom is set to 100%. None of the levels gives me a 100% zoom. Where is this coming from? I can’t work with this.

dick_c

It looks like Opera has started adjusting my zoom level by looking at my Windows font size adjustment. So now my option is to roll back to something with a security flaw?

Łukasz

Please a new download manager, with the ability to stop and resume after switching to Opera

Opera browser after 20 versions in terms of password saving forms greatly deteriorated !! Opera does not store passwords and does not work autocomplete forms, although the settings are all included. Earlier in the 20 version, all worked and now nothing keeps 24 (passwords and forms)! When you return the key, which was in the 12 version. Was cool stuff. Automatic login after clicking on the key. Why can not replace a search engine that is built in the express panel? !!!
When installing the Ukrainian version of the opera is absent Spell check dictionary FOR UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE, have to put it yourself !!! In Opera why so few options, the browser must be flexible !!

I installed Opera_24.0.1558.64 on my toshiba -L745 but my laptop became toooo slow. I couldnt even use it and so had to uninstall it but i am used to opera and so want it back. How do i solve this problem?

May you please change the current behaviour of the context menu option “Open all bookmarks” in the bookmark bar? Currently, when you right click on a bookmark root folder and then click on “Open all”, it opens the bookmarks of subfolders, too. This is kind of annoying and unhandy. It would be much better if it would open the bookmarks in the root folder only. At least an additional context menu option like “Open all root bookmarks” or so would be great.
